Physical air conditioning san diego with kettlebells for MMA fighters
By admin. Filed in Uncategorized |
 Without doubt MMA fighters are some of the fittest athletes on the planet. As a fighter you need good performance for every physical quality: strength, speed, endurance, skills and flexibility.
 If your are not well conditioned as a sport player or a single event athlete you may lose games, your opponents will score goals and points over you; if you are not fit and participate in MMA competition you will get your own dear ass kicked.
 I have seen many athletes who overlook physical air conditioning san diego training, thinking that just skill is important. If you want to know the importance of physical prowess just think about women martial artists fighting men. It is extremely difficult for women athletes to triumph over men, mostly because of physical air conditioning san diego level.
 What physical qualities do you need to improve as a MMA fighters and what drills you can use?
 Strength
 You need to consider more aspects of strength:
 Maximal general strength
 Maximal general strength is the basic for every other aspect of strength. To develop maximal strength train with heavy weights (1-5 RM 85 – 100% x 1 RM) and low repetitions (1 – 5 reps).
 KB drills for maximal general strength:
 -        Standing KB press
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Windmill
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â KB pistol squat
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Bent press
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Turkish get up (TGU)
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Gladiator row
 Explosive strength
 Power is king in every athletic discipline. The ability to apply maximal strength in shortest time possible makes the difference between great strikers and novices.
  To develop power you need to practice explosive drills. You can train with very heavy weights and maximal acceleration for low reps (1-5 RM for 1-5 Reps).
You can also use lightest weights (30 – 70 % x 1 RM), and use maximal acceleration for 6 – 15 Reps. Stop the drill when you begin your explosiveness begins to drop.
 KB explosive drills for power: (you can practice these drills using one or two KB)
 -         KB swing
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â KB snatch
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â KB clean
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â KB jerk
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â KB clean & jerk
 KB throws outside on the sand or other soft terrain: two hands overhead behind, two hands forward, two hands up, one or two hands with torso twisting, etc.
 Strength endurance
 If MMA combat rounds would be just 30 seconds you wouldn’t need strength endurance, but with multiple rounds of 3 to 5 minutes you need.
 For developing strength endurance use 60 – 70% x 1 RM loads for sets of 15 – 30 reps. You can tie different drill together for an extended circuit up to 3 – 5 minutes. Maintain a moderate tempo of execution.
 KB drills for strength endurance:
 -         Turkish get up
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â KB standing press
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â KB bent press
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â KB pistol squat
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Double KB squat
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Two hands anyhow
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Gladiator row
-         Farmer’s walk
 Explosive strength endurance
 If you watch beginner amateurs fighting you will notice that punching turn into pushing by the end of the rounds. If you want to maintain your whip and snap until the end of the fight, you need specific training.
 Use explosive drills performed for time 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes.
